Évaluation de l’omble chevalier du lac Ikaluit
Abstract
Ikaluit Lake Arctic Char have been harvested under various licences since 1977. Most recently, under a stage II exploratory licence since 2006. Historically, fishing occurred in the winter months on Ikaluit Lake. More recently, fishing has occurred in the summer months in Robert Peel Inlet. The communities of Pangnirtung and Iqaluit rely heavily on the Ikaluit Lake Arctic Char stock for subsistence. The results from this assessment indicate that despite harvest pressure this stock appears to be stable. Harvest at a rate of 5% of the standing stock, which is approximately 1,000 kg, will keep the stock sustainable. Keeping in view subsistence pressure, it is recommended that the stock be monitored annually for biological and catch effort information.
